The collection consists of manuscripts by Sekara and printed materials. The manuscripts primarily deal with Sekara's military career during the Civil War. There is a copy of "Sumskie gusary 1651-1951" (Buenos Aires, 1954) to which various clippings and notes have been appended. In addition, there are a few dozen issues of the journals "The Sentinel" and "Voennai︠a︡ byl ́(The Military Past) dating from the 1950s to 1974.

Manuscripts, subject files, and printed materials. The subject files deal with the Vserossiĭskiĭ Soi︠u︡z Gorodov (All-Russian Union of Cities) and the northern front during the Civil War, emigre organizational life, and other topics. Printed materials include clippings, newspapers, offprints, and programs relating to the Civil War, emigre cultural life in Europe during World War II, and the USSR after World War II.

The papers contain correspondence, reports, and financial records. The materials almost entirely date from 1919-22 and concern the Civil War and its immediate aftermath. There are several letters from General Nikolaĭ I︠U︡denich to Pilkin, and many letters and reports which passed between Pilkin and his assistants. The majority of the collection is made up of financial records, such as income and disbursements for the "Morskai︠a︡ organizat︠s︡ii︠a︡" in Paris (1919-22), and the "Morskoĭ fond" in Helsinski (1920-24); and subsidies disbursed to White naval personnel living in Estonia (1920-23).

Typescript memoirs entitled "Dela davno minuvshikh dneĭ" (357 p.). The memoirs begin with von Dreier's childhood in Turkestan; follow his military service up to World War I (he was assigned at various times to Tripoli and the Balkans); his service during World War I; and his experiences in Moscow and with the White armies during the Civil War.

Stefanov's memoirs about the Civil War consist of two typescript sections: "Neuvi︠a︡dai︠u︡shchie listi︠́a︡" (44 p.) and "Odesskai︠a︡ evakuatsii︠a︡" (23 p.). He recounts his service in the White Army with particular reference to Kharḱov, Ekaterinodar and Odessa.

Manuscripts and subject files of Vladimir N. Timchenko-Ruban. Timchenko-Ruban's memoirs"Stranit︠s︡y proshlago" discusses his childhood, his service in the Preobrazhenskiĭ Regiment, World War I, the 1917 Revolution and Civil War, and his life in France from 1922 and through the period of German occupation during World War II. Timchenko-Ruban's essay "1683-1958" concerns the history of the Preobrazhenskiĭ Regiment. There are two subject files containing documents inherited by Timchenko-Ruban. One file relates to Sofi︠́a︡ Danilova and contains school and Red Cross documents while the other relates to Semen Lazarev and his wife Olǵa (nʹee Mikhaĭlova) and contains school, travel and military documents. The documents in both files primarily date from the 1880-1920 period.

The 30-page typescript provides an account of the events of 1917 from the point of view of a cadet in the Nikolaev Cavalry School in Petrograd, where Velikotnyĭ studied in 1916 and 1917. It also describes in detail Velikotnyĭ's experiences as an officer in the Volunteer Army from late 1917 until the evacuation of the White Army in Nov. 1920.

Mylńikov's manuscript and typescript memoirs concern World War I and the Civil War.

Manuscripts of Vostokov. Following the 1917 revolution, Vostokov served as a chaplain for the White Army, and was later sent abroad by General Wrangel because he was preaching that the Jews were responsible for the revolution. The manuscripts in the collection are chiefly memoirs and pertain not only to the revolution and Civil War, but to a number of important church figures as well. The printed materials consist of two copies of Vostokov's pamphlet"Rozy i shipy" (San Francisco, 1953).

Linden's manuscript memoirs discuss women's education in turn-of-the-century St. Petersburg; Russian youth in the 1890s; the Crimea and Odessa in 1917-1919; Aleksandr Kerenskiĭ; her husband and family; and the situation of Jews in the Russian Empire. With typed transcript.
